The Queen's State of Richard Saunders is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.394 billion Richard Saundersians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.5%.

The thriving Richard Saundersian economy, worth 250 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 33,849 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 95,549 per year while the poor average 9,599, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, surveillance cameras are banned, Richard Saunders's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Richard Saunders's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
